Butternut Squash Soup With Apples

My goal is to share my baked creations, my very s.l..o...w progress into cooking, my frustrations and most importantly, the little things in life that make me happy.
Basically, I need an outlet for all the random thoughts that cross my mind. Otherwise, I do literally end up "chomping" or grinding my teeth at night.
